Rosin the Singing Dog

Ever since Rosin was a small puppy he has sung with his owner’s violin playing.

He was even involved in a Howling study between Tufts and Harvard Universities. His owner was required to film him vocalizing to the same tune 9 times (without appearing in the video herself – that was the hardest part since he likes to collaborate!) 3 times in a low key, 3 times in a mid key, and 3 times in a high key.

The tune Rachel chose, for its lyricism, was the Skye Boat Song, using the viola for the lowest key, and one of her violins for the other two. The video below was not part of the study which is an ongoing study still.
